Chapter 373

Author: Saltfish Dreams
Spencer was smiling as he hugged Lucille, and he looked at her dotingly.

Lucille was clearly on Spencer's side, and Marley was convinced she'd always take his side, no matter what.

"Do you want me to return the 100 million dollars? I can have someone transfer it to you immediately."

Marley's calm gaze was unfathomable—it seemed to hide secrets that no one could uncover.

He was good at hiding his cunning and dark side. Otherwise, he wouldn't have eliminated his rivals and taken over Sanrough at the age of 18. His methods were more ruthless than they appeared; he wasn't as gentle as he seemed on the outside.

However, Spencer had also dominated the business world for years, and his tactics were ruthless as well. Both of them were equally matched when it came to their methods.

"No. Just take it as a wedding gift."

Spencer was in a great mood because Lucille had taken his side, so he didn't want to make a fuss about it. That amount of money meant nothing to him. He just didn't like

    The atmosphere in the huge walk-in closet was charged with an overwhelming desire.It was so quiet that only the sound of Spencer and Lucille's excited breaths could be heard. Their breathing was in sync, and the connection between them created an atmosphere filled with intimacy.Spencer's kisses were so intense that they left Lucille begging for more as she clung onto his broad shoulders.Her mind went blank, as if all thoughts had been erased. The foreplay made her feel good. If she let her desire take over, she would fall into an abyss of pleasure. For some reason, she yearned for it.Although it was winter, she felt like she was burning with desire so hot that she turned to jelly. She needed something to cool her down. As she sank deeper into the throes of passion, she heard his hoarse voice. "How many men are involved in your life?"Spencer was quite frustrated. Although Marley was technically Lucille's brother on paper, they weren't blood-related. So, Spencer was still jea

    Spencer could clearly sense the changes in Lucille's body. Lucille retorted playfully, "Everything about you is annoying now. You're bullying me." When she heard him laugh aloud, embarrassment flooded her, making her face burn with heat. "How have I bullied you?" he asked in a hoarse voice and cocked his eyebrow as he calmly looked at her.She fell silent and shot him a sultry look instead. He let out a wild, mischievous, and lustful laugh. Then, he leaned in to whisper in her ear. Suddenly, her face, which was already flushed, turned even more red. With his shameless words, he teased her to the point where she lost all restraint, leaving no room for her to retort.Sometimes showing restraint wasn't a good idea, especially in moments like this. She pursed her lips and decided to kiss him.Under his guidance, she became a good kisser. At this moment, she was driven by the desire to explore his mouth with a deep, passionate kiss.Even so, she couldn't help but threaten him. Aft

    At this moment, Eunice lowered her head as she nervously sat on a chair in the quaint study of Moore Manor.She hadn't been this nervous when she'd been at the hotel. Besides, Bailey had been by her side, and Eunice hadn't wanted to embarrass herself in front of them, so she'd tried her best to control her nerves.She'd thought she'd masked it well, but Marcus, who was so used to reading people with his sharp eyes, had seen right through her."Eunie, I want to talk to you about you and that brat, Ian." Marcus didn't expose Eunice. He spoke to her in a friendly manner with a smile on his face. He was trying to let her know that he meant no harm. He just wanted to chat.Facing such a kind and gentle Marcus, Eunice had mixed emotions. For one, she'd become his daughter-in-law, which was a difficult problem for her to overcome. She felt like she owed him. If it hadn't been for her, he wouldn't have been so frustrated over Ian. A few days ago, Bailey had told her that when Marcus had

    After Ian left, Wesley tried calling Eunice, but to no avail. Great, she'd even blocked his number! Ian was such a pain. Eunice had blocked his number, yet he had to drag Wesley down with him. To tell the truth, anyone would be angry about what had happened tonight. If Wesley were Eunice, he would've ignored Ian, too. After half an hour, Wesley nervously walked toward Ian. "Um, Mr. Moore, I can't find Mrs. Moore." Ian sat on the couch with his legs crossed, with one arm resting on the armrest and the other holding a cigarette in his mouth. He took a deep drag, and the rich, acrid stench of tobacco filled the living room. The sharp, pungent smell of the smoke hit Ian right in the chest. For a moment, he couldn't tell if his anguish was caused by the tobacco or his emotions. He squinted slightly, exuding an unrestrained, wild, and bold presence with a dark and subtle undertone, seemingly thinning the surrounding air. He was like a lion, ready to unleash his rage. After a mo

    "She's beside me. What's up?" Spencer said over the phone, his voice groggy and husky. He reclined on the bed while holding the phone, which he'd ruthlessly thrown aside last night. He looked down at Lucille, who was curled beside him like a baby, with one hand on his chest and the other around his waist. At this moment, he was entirely absorbed, both emotionally and visually, in the delicate woman lying beside him. Lucille's sleep seemed to be somewhat disturbed as her forehead was creased, probably due to getting woken up by the phone's vibration. Spencer tried to lower his volume as he answered the call. On the other end of the line, Ian was looking for Lucille. He said something to Spencer. Spencer lowered his voice and said emotionlessly, "She's still asleep!" His drowsy, dark eyes were filled with love as he softly caressed Lucille's head, continuously soothing her. Soon, her furrowed brows started to relax. She nuzzled Spencer's waist before going back to sleep. Ia

    It was after 10:00 am at Sparrow Residence. December mornings were chilly, but the sun was like a rising crimson fireball, melting the frost away with its warm light. Lucille snuggled into a deep slumber in the warm bed, showing no signs of waking up. Suddenly, she felt breathless as the air in her lungs thinned, as if a large rock was pressing on her body, squeezing the air out of her. She moaned as she woke up in a daze. A slightly cold tongue slid into her mouth, snatching away her remaining breath. Feeling out of breath, Lucille opened her tired eyes and was met with a blurry yet handsome face. She wanted to push him away but found her arms weak, as though they were the arms of an inflatable tube man. Suddenly, the scenes from last night's passionate and intimate moments flashed through her mind. Lucille had no idea when she'd fallen asleep. She only remembered getting carried into the bathroom to clean up in a semi-conscious state. Yet, her cold and aloof husband, Sp

    Ian jeered, "What's the matter? Did you have so much fun last night that she can't even walk now? Be careful not to make a habit of staying up late, or you'll have kidney failure one day." Lucille felt her lips twitch, but she remained silent. Spencer also said nothing as the veins in his forehead popped. With her arms wrapped around Spencer's neck, Lucille turned to him, blinking at him. Her eyes seemed to ask, "Why is he this riled up?" Spencer smiled. "Don't worry about him. He's just jealous of how loving we are. Let's get some food first before your stomach gets upset." Lucille said nothing. Spencer then carried her to the dining table. After all, Lucille hadn't taken her breakfast yet. Whatever important issue Ian had could wait. Between his best friend's concerns and his wife's stomach, Spencer prioritized the latter. Seeing that, Ian pressed his lips in annoyance. After ten minutes, Spencer carried Lucille over to the couch. He wanted to have her sit on his lap, b

    As soon as Ian left, Lucille went upstairs to grab her phone before going back down. She checked her phone and saw Eunice's missed call. Looking at the time, she realized it was when she'd been getting wild with Spencer. No wonder she hadn't heard the phone ringing. She also noticed several text messages from Eunice and Mavis. Spencer looked at the address written on the text message and squinted. "Is that Creekside Villas?" "Mm-hmm," Lucille casually responded as she replied to the messages. Spencer furrowed his brows and asked, "You even have a house in that area, Mrs. Layton?" Creekside Villas were one of the properties of JM Corporation. They were the golden villas in a prime location, and each 33 units had an owner. Of course, since they were made by JM Corporation, the villas were top-notch, and their prices naturally reflected that. After replying to the messages, Lucille turned to him and smiled. "What's wrong? Are you surprised that I have a house of my own, Mr.

    In the bathroom, Lucille was relaxing as she enjoyed the care she was receiving from Spencer. They had seen each other like this for too long, and they had gotten used to it by now. Of course, it had taken her time to get used to it. Every time she was injured, she would end up receiving this treatment, but… While she might have gotten used to it, it was still a kind of punishment for Spencer."Honey, your shirt is wet. Why don't you take it off?"She noticed that half of his black shirt was wet and sticking closely to his body. The wet shirt perfectly outlined his muscular build.She couldn't help but gulp. This was pretty deadly to her too.He was wearing a black shirt with two buttons undone, revealing a glimpse of his collarbone. Coupled with his handsome face, he looked simply irresistible. Her heart couldn't help but race. As he carefully wiped her arm, he avoided the injury on her right hand. It was already torture for him to help her bath. However, when he suddenly he

    "So, you can't blame Eunie for not telling you, and you can't blame us for keeping you in the dark."In other words, Ian had brought it upon himself, and there was no one else to blame but himself.Ian was rendered speechless. He'd never thought that this was how Eunice saw him—a ruthless person who would get rid of his own child.He mocked himself inwardly. He also felt hurt, as if something were stabbing him.After Lucille was done talking, she saw Ian look visibly upset and didn't say anything. So, she whispered to Spencer, "Do you think I went too far with what I said earlier? Can he take it?"Spencer rubbed her head and said, "Don't worry. He can take it. Besides, what you told him is the truth. If he can't handle it, he isn't worthy to be our buddy."Lucille nodded in agreement after she heard that. What Spencer said made sense. She felt at ease after he comforted her.After a while, Ian finally spoke up again. "So, I shouldn't go and look for her?"Lucille was surprised

    "I'm here for you!"Upon hearing that, Lucille was rendered speechless. On second thought, she realized this was fine too.Then, she looked at Spencer and blinked before she said, "Don't leave me. I'm injured right now, so I can't fight him."Ian glowered at her words, feeling at a loss for words. Did he look like someone who would lay a hand on a woman?Spencer looked at her dotingly and responded, "Okay. I won't leave you."Ian was just flabbergasted now."What's the matter, Ian?" With Spencer to back her up, Lucille felt at ease. Even if she hadn't said anything, she knew Spencer wouldn't have left her alone with Ian.Ian suddenly smiled. "It looks like you have quite the luck. The hospital is practically your second home."Lucille was rendered speechless. Then, she smiled and looked at Spencer before she provoked Ian. "My home is wherever my husband is. We're not like some people, for whom having a wife seems to make no difference whatsoever." She'd never lost to anyone b

    Ian turned to look at Lucas. It was obvious that he seemed to be wondering why Lucas had asked that. When Lucas saw Ian's expression, he knew that Ian had never thought about it. In other words, he had no recollection of what he had done and said."I'm going back to be with my wife. You guys just carry on." Spencer stood up and smoothed out the creases on his clothes as he spoke indifferently. After all, it had been a while since he'd left the ward.With that, he strode toward the door without waiting for the others to say anything. Connor was eager to see how things would unfold, so he didn't leave.…Meanwhile, after Beatrice left, Spencer returned to the hospital ward. When Lucille saw him coming in, she asked, "Where have you been?"He took off his coat and put it aside. Then, he walked to the bed and sat down. "I went to investigate some stuff."Lucille figured out what it must have been about and asked, "You went to investigate Alexander and my mom?"Spencer, who wa

    "Ian, what brings you here?" Connor had no idea about Eunice's situation in Arcania, so he was quite surprised when he saw Ian.Although he was surprised, he wasn't blind. He could see that Ian had a hostile air about him.Looking puzzled, Connor glanced at Lucas, who was seated next to him, for an explanation. After all, he knew Spencer wouldn't tell him.After Ian came in, he didn't even bother to sit and directly asked, "Where is she?"Last night, he'd received Lucas' message—the latter had told him that he knew Eunice's location and wanted him to come to Arcania immediately. That was why Ian had rushed to Arcania without any delay.Lucas hadn't told him the exact location. Instead, he'd just told Ian to come to the hospital. Ian had thought that something had happened to Eunice and that she was hospitalized. So, he'd rushed to the hospital as soon as he'd gotten off the plane. However, after he'd come to his senses, he'd gotten someone to check the hospital's patient list.

    Before Beatrice spoke, she looked at the entrance of the hospital ward. After ensuring that no one was coming, she said, "Although we found out that all four of Mr. President's children's last names are Vonridge, they don't seem to be his biological children."Lucille widened her eyes, looking surprised. She cocked an eyebrow and asked, "What did you just say?""They were adopted from the orphanage. Our database has their information, and it's a 100% match," Beatrice replied.Lucille naturally wouldn't doubt that the information in Otearl Alliance's database was incorrect. However, she had never heard anyone mention this before.At the same time, Spencer, who had just left, had gone to investigate something as well.After they'd returned in the afternoon, he'd instructed Kent to conduct an investigation. The news that Kent came back with shocked Spencer to the core.Connor and Lucas were also there. They were in a lounge."Spence, how could Lucille's mom also know Alexander?"

    Diana let out a long sigh. Her words were tinged with helplessness and regret. "This is your aunt. She hasn't appeared for more than 20 years. I never expected her to be gone for this long. There has been no news from her. She must hate me very much."Samantha had no idea what had happened. Her aunt's name and everything related to her had always been taboo in the Crawford family."Is it possible that Ms. Deer is my aunt's child?" Samantha asked.If that was the case, it was quite a coincidence.Diana looked at the photo album in her hands. After a brief silence, she said, "I want to meet her. Don't tell anyone about this for now."Samantha nodded. "Okay."…Meanwhile, in Arcania, Alexander also left the venue after Lucille and the others left.After Alexander left, he immediately had someone to investigate Lucille's past. Back then, after Jane had suddenly left, she had covered all her tracks. No matter how Alexander had searched, he hadn't been able to find her. There hadn't

    When Diana took a closer look, her hands, which had been leisurely tapping on the armrests, suddenly froze.At first, Samantha didn't notice anything unusual about her reaction."Grandma, the best thing I got out of this trip was getting a photo with my idol." She went on and on. "It's the first time I got to see Ms. Deer's real face, and she's very beautiful. No wonder she always wears a veil. Although she looks aloof, I think the way she talks sounds gentle."By the way, she is married. Her real name is Lucille Johnson, and she's from Whiteloop City in Summeria. There was an unexpected incident during the competition, and it was quite despicable. I didn't expect her family to turn out completely different from how I'd imagined them to be."Samantha pouted as she stared at the photo of her and Lucille. She'd always thought that someone outstanding like Lucille would have a perfect family; she hadn't expected things to turn out like that.After the competition had ended, Samantha

    Meanwhile, after Samantha had participated in the perfumery competition, she'd stayed in Whiteloop City for about a week before returning to Crawford Residence in Marvonia.She had been declared the champion of this year's perfumery competition. After she'd returned, she'd chosen to keep a low profile and hadn't celebrated or gone around boasting about it.However, she'd forgotten that Natasha Crawford, her mother, had a strong sense of pride.Since Samantha had been young, she'd had to excel in everything and come in first to meet Natasha's expectations. Only then could Natasha hold her head high and brag about Samantha in front of everyone. At the same time, she could enjoy the flattery from those around her.So, the day after Samantha had returned, Natasha had gathered everyone and thrown a party to celebrate her victory. The room had been filled with people she hadn't known, but they'd all been important figures. That night, after making an appearance, Samantha had left the
